Is the price fair?

Fair

Neither cheap nor expensive: modest expectations priced in and cheap vs its sector, but at the top of its own P/E range.

2 good, 1 to watch

What the price assumes~+1% a year

Priced for ~1% a year FCF growth. The price demands less than its three-year revenue growth of 6% a year, expectations look modest.

Vs its own P/E rangedearer than 93% of its own historyderived

Expensive vs its own history: P/E 18.7 vs a 16.1 median over 42 quarters (+16% vs median).

Vs sector (EV/EBIT)16.6×

Sector median 25.1× across 135 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
